Catalyst 20th Anniversary Awards Compendium

Research Project

As the global workforce evolves, so do the diversity and inclusion initiatives created by organizations to advance women. Early on, initiatives focused on discrete issues, such as childcare, eldercare, personal safety and well being, communication and networking, and talent management. Today, diversity and inclusion initiatives are an integral part of business strategy, as they anticipate competitive advantages, are integrated into performance-management systems, and reinforce their goals through stringent accountability systems. The Catalyst 20th Anniversary Awards Compendium provides a detailed history of this progression.
